Du Bian's destination is the top of the mountain behind the Eunuch Academy, this mountain is not high, the altitude is less than 500 meters, and it is not very rugged. But when converted into a distance, it is a full 5 miles, that is, 2,500 meters. It's all uphill, and it's really extremely difficult for Du Bian, who has no power to tie the chicken.

Du Bian also took this course four years ago, when he fainted directly halfway, that is, from that time on, he completely gave up martial arts cultivation.

In the early hours of the morning, under the moonlight, Du Bian carried two 25-pound buckets and walked with difficulty, and he walked very, very slowly.

The first 100 meters are barely OK, the body has begun to shake in the second hundred meters, the arms seem to be broken in the third hundred meters, and the bucket in his hand seems to be not 25 catties but thousands of catties.

When he advanced 350 meters, Du Chang's body reached the limit, his eyes were full of gold stars, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he was almost fainting for a while.

Li Wei didn't say anything sarcastic, but he frowned. He knew that Du Bian's physical fitness was very poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor, it was completely incorrigible.

I can't go any further, otherwise I'm going to faint and fall down. Du Bian stopped, but he didn't dare to put the bucket down, and still stood in place with two buckets to rest, which can only be said to be better than nothing.

After resting for half an hour, Du Bian eased up a little, and then continued to move forward.

The second time, he had only advanced two hundred meters to reach the limit, and once again stopped to rest for a quarter of an hour.

Next, I started to climb the mountain, although it was not too steep, but after all, it was an uphill road, which was even more difficult for Du Bian. Every step I took was extremely painful, and even every breath of air I breathed felt like a knife was cutting my lungs.

But...... He still insisted, but gradually he rested every 100 meters, then 50 meters, 30 meters, and 10 meters.

Li Wei found that Du Yan's eyes had been blurred, his face was so pale that there was no blood, and the tendons and veins on his neck had already burst out. He was very worried that if he was forced to try like this, he would probably exceed his physical limit and die directly, so he really wanted to say give up.

......

And the last five hundred meters.

But at this time, Du Bian was almost delirious, and he was holding on completely by will, as if he would fall headlong with every step.

He walked slower and slower, shaking more and more, and the water in the bucket had already leaked out a quarter, but Li Wei's whip did not fall, what he wanted was attitude, and now Du Chang's attitude has proven everything.

Four hours have passed, the sun has risen, Du Bian has not yet reached the top of the mountain, and there are still the last two hundred meters.

Li Wei knew that a normal beginner would climb to the top of the mountain in an hour and a half at the slowerest, while Du Bian had already spent four hours.

The last 200 meters were completely hell, even almost a kind of life tempering, Li Wei had already put down the whip, ready to catch Du Bian who fainted and fell to the ground at any time, lest he fall directly down the mountain.

He knew in his heart that Du Bian would no longer be able to complete the task, and he might faint at every step he took.

However, Du Bian is like an ant crawling, moving forward step by step.

150 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters from the top of the mountain......

In the end, Du Bian actually climbed to the top of the mountain, carrying two 25-pound buckets to the top of the mountain, of course, two hours had passed since dawn.

The whole process took 6 hours, which is four times the time taken by a normal first-year new student.

This result was completely bad, but Li Wei was very excited, because in the first 500 meters, Du Bian was almost at the limit, and he should have given up at that time. At a thousand meters, Du Bian would faint at any time. He felt that Du Bian would definitely not be able to complete this task, but Du Bian did.

Although the results were very poor, Du Bian's willpower far surpassed that of the others, which was a huge victory.

Du Bian stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the sun that had risen quite high in the east, turned his head and said, "Li Jiaotou, I'm done." ”

Then he fell straight down, but even fainting the bucket in his hand still did not drop.

Li Wei, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed forward and picked up Du Bian.

......

When Du Yan woke up again, his whole body was soaked in the almost hot herbal soup, and Li Wei was smearing an oil on his body.

After the human body undergoes the extreme trial, the body's muscles and bones will be damaged, and at this time, it is necessary to bathe in the spirit tonic soup. If the conditions are good, you should apply leopard placenta oil to the whole body, and if the conditions are better, you should also take leopard blood pills.

"Awake?" Li Wei said, then took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a red pill and said, "Eat it." ”

This is the leopard tendon pill, which is very expensive, at least not something that Du Chang can afford.

Du Yan ate it, and suddenly felt a burst of heat in his body.

"How does your body feel?" Du said, "Numb, I don't feel anything." ”

Li Wei frowned suddenly, this is a very bad signal, which means that the muscles and veins are very seriously damaged.

But after taking the leopard blood pill, a wave of heat surged in the body, and the paralyzing feeling gradually disappeared, replaced by a severe pain, the whole body was in pain, the muscles seemed to be about to swell, and the tendons and veins were about to break.

"It hurts now, very, very painful. Du changed his way.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good to feel pain, which means that the muscles and veins are at least not abolished." ”

Then, he returned to his chair and reloaded, exhaled a long breath, wiped his sweat and said, "You don't know how badly damaged your veins are, almost broken. And it was hundreds of muscle and vein injuries all over the body, I saved you for a few hours, used up five bottles of leopard fetal oil, and finally rescued you. ”

Du Bian said: "Thank you, Mr. Li. ”

Li Wei shook his head and said: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank Shanchang, he asked me to save you at any cost." ”

Then Li Wei said: "You are really a madman, you can't complete a third of this morning's task, so you should give up." As a result, you persevered completely on your own willpower, and carried out crazy challenges and excavations to the limits of your body, and almost destroyed your muscles. If you give up halfway, I won't blame you, but I will take the initiative to explain it to the mountain chief. ”

Du said: "I have no choice, teacher. ”

"I'm proud of you. Li Wei said with sincere eyes: "The body is given by my father, but the will and tenacity are my own." Even though it took you a full 6 hours to complete the first task of refining, I am proud of you, you are the toughest kid I have ever met. ”

"Thank you. Du changed his way.

"But......" Li Wei's eyes became serious and said: "You give up! Your physical fitness is really poor, maybe you are very smart, your comprehension is very high, and you are a genius." But...... Your physique determines that you are not suitable for martial arts. Although you have completed the task today, it is only a 50-pound bucket less than five miles away. Then there are 100 catties, 200 catties, 10 miles, 20 miles, 30 miles, which cannot be done by willpower. ”

Li Wei took a towel to wipe the sweat on his body and said, "Today you almost lost half of your life, and your muscles and veins were almost completely destroyed." According to your current injury, you will have to recuperate for at least seven or eight days, and then continue the trial, if you still rely on your willpower to fight hard according to today's method, you will not be as lucky as today, and the biggest possibility is that your muscles and veins will collapse, or even die directly. ”

Li Wei is not intimidating Du Chang, if there is another trial like today, the probability of Du Bian's muscles and veins being completely destroyed is nine out of nine, and the probability of violent death is also more than sixty percent.

"I respect you, I'm proud of you. Li Wei said: "But for the sake of your life, I can't let you continue." You can rest assured, the mountain chief also agrees with you to give up, and if you lose to Shirakawa in the gambling game half a month later, the twenty lashes will be merciful and will not hurt your muscles and bones. You will still have a future after being expelled from the Eunuch Academy, and we will arrange for you to work in the eunuch firm, and you will be promoted to the treasurer directly after a year and a half of apprenticeship. Although he can't wield much power, he has no problem spending his life in peace and prosperity. ”

Du Chang's eyes were hot, and he suddenly wanted to argue.

"This is not a suggestion but an order, an order from the mountain chief, who does not want to see you become a ruined person. Li Wei said: "He asked me to tell you that even if you leave the Eunuch Academy, you can still shine for the Eunuch Party, and you can still contribute to the Eunuch Party and the empire, and we will continue to pay attention to you." ”

Du Bian quieted down, and once he said that this was the order of the mountain chief, Du Bian couldn't argue. He can prove himself with his actions, but he will never disobey Li Wenyu's orders in words.

Li Wei continued: "I won't teach you the refining course anymore, you can go home, or you can stay in the academy and wait for the gamble with Bai Chuan in half a month, after losing, you leave the academy and go to one of our firms, not surprisingly, you can become the big shopkeeper of that firm in a few years." ”

It may be good to become the big shopkeeper of the business, but it is by no means what Du Chang wants.

He has only one goal, to win the first place in the graduation examination half a year later, and enter the East Factory, stepping into the fast lane.
